Complete your spring wardrobe with these 7 lightweight blazers

When it’s hard to keep up with changing trends, investing in a blazer that you can always rely on is money well spent in our opinion. 

Less formal than a suit jacket and more casual in nature, a blazer typically has a more relaxed fit and may feature patch pockets, metal buttons and come in a variety of colours and designs. Blazers can also be made from various materials, including wool, cotton, linen and synthetic fabrics. Super versatile, a blazer can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, making them a staple piece in your wardrobe. 

As ever, we’ve handpicked seven of the best blazers from brands that our Mumsnet users are recommending at the moment on our Talk boards. 

1. We’ll start with this relaxed linen blend blazer by & Other Stories that comes in a light beige colour and features a notched lapel collar, two welt pockets and padded shoulders.

Mumsnet seal of approval: "And I've got a few of their blazers which again I really love... Often I find with blazers that the sleeves are too short, or if the body fits then the arms and shoulders are too tight. But if you size up then the body is absolutely ridiculously big. (And I don't mind a bit oversized.) But the fit of the Other Stories blazers is perfect for me." rhiannon1967

2. Next is this colourful Beth suit blazer by Nobody’s Child that has a clean silhouette, a double-breasted design and is patterned with a timeless gingham print.

4. Also available in three colours (black, grey and butterscotch) is this relaxed single breasted blazer from M&S that has a laid-back feel that offsets its traditionally smart design.

5. Our second entry from & Other Stories is this oversized blazer that’s available in four colours and made of responsible wool. We particularly like the beige and light green versions.

Mumsnet seal of approval: "I'm a fan of & Other Stories! Love it, really like the jewelry too. The quality is marginally better than H&M but the style is right up my street." StarkintheSouth

6. For a pop of colour throughout spring, this single-breasted linen-blend blazer in lilac from COS is a great choice.
